I love how when I polished my winter beater 2000 jimmy with over 230k on the clock it looked amazing using an all in one and detailing the inside, after 3 years I sold it for more than I paid for it.

That’s great!

As a diy'er who dabbles in detailing a few cars on the side in addition to my own, I have to tell y'all, that was a cool video! Lots of little tips and trips along the way - like removing the polish with Ceramic Gloss. Never would have thought of that! Plus, the Gold Standard polish and pad look like great products for the kind of work I do (quick enhancements).. Can't wait to try them out! 👍

thanks so much! Yes we painted that on, we actually use a projector to project the logo onto the wall and that made painting it accurately quite simple

[@mcflotty]

It's funny, I always do wheels and tires (wells) first, then once I get to contact wash, decon, etc., whatever order follows be it polsih or compound etc. I do the roof. Because it's a pain in the rump and I want to get it out of the way lol. I just don't love being on the ladder with damp or wet shoes, reaching, so I do it when I'm as fresh as possible every time:).

I'll gladly take second, I always like to see Nick and Yvan polish! Two different styles with great results and really helps put us at ease. Its scary thinking about burning through clear coat If I may ask looks like all clean was not foamed on the paint is there a reason versus foaming?

We didn’t foam, just to show different options.

Has any one tried the gold standard on polished stainless steel. If so would you use a wool pad The stainless is shiny now would like to take some light scratches out and restore the shine a bit.

[@diydetailofficial]

It will not do much on stainless steel

[@Ecdetails]

You guys are amazing, I like the raw honesty. It's so true the higher it gets the less we focus. I wanted to ask tho if I have a pressured keg can I remove the iron with that and rinseless and go straight to drying? Also on the polishing which is sick - is the polish pad dependent meaning can I use a more aggressive pad and get more of a cut? ALSO ---- that gloss is nutty

[@diydetailofficial]

Yes, you can use a Keg to rinse then dry. Definitely pad adjustable cut, we have a unique cutting pad on the way soon. Thanks!

[@HAL-dm1eh]

I live on a dirt road with lots of iron (not quite full blown red clay), should I use the clay towel with the iron remover on every rinseless maintenance wash instead of just the sponge?

[@diydetailofficial]

No need

[@larsenttif]

If we don’t take durability and application into concideration, what would be the main difference between a product like Ceramic Gloss or Quick Beads compared to DIY ceramic coating?

[@diydetailofficial]

The only advantages of DIY Detail Ceramic Coating is durability and chemical resistance. DIY Detail Quick Beads and Ceramic Gloss will provide some chemical resistance, but not as much as the thicker DIY Detail Ceramic Coating. Beading will be equivalent on all 3. In an ideal situation, start with a base of DIY Detail Ceramic Coating, and add to that DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss or Quick Beads when you wash as maintenance.

[@stephen1503]

So you’re cleaning the pad in the same rinseless bucket you washed in? Assuming That is fine as long as you keep the iron remover and gunk out

[@diydetailofficial]

Correct.

[@ac7384]

What towels you recommend for removing polish and the ceramic gloss

[@diydetailofficial]

Pearl weave towels.

[@simplysimplemobiledetailin529]

In this instance, would a medium clay towel have done better? Always wanted to ask about the medium vs fine

[@diydetailofficial]

The more aggressive your clay towel(or bar) the higher the risk of marring the paint (which usually requires polishing after). Sometimes you need more aggressive clay for certain jobs but you’ll likely need to polish to remove the marring, whereas our towel works great for most jobs and if you use it the way we teach (no pressure) it’s great for coated cars or regular details no problem

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

do you have to clean out the multi pro from the all clean every time ? or are the Multi pro sprayers/foamers sturdy and won't break down with All Clean?

[@diydetailofficial]

Ideally

[@joelpasserell4525]

How does it work with using ceramic gloss to spray and wipe off the polishing residue? With Polish still on the paint, I would think the Ceramic gloss doesnt have a chance to bond good if you're mixing it with polish and don't first remove the polish? Would Ceramic gloss last longer if I don't care about the time and I first remove the polish, then panel wipe, then Ceramic gloss wipe?

[@diydetailofficial]

It actually doesn’t have much of an impact. Yes for best longevity wipe off before

[@alltheboost801]

Great video. When you used ceramic gloss for a drying aid and final wipe down. Could touch also use Quick Beads in the same manner or could/how Would you stack both? How do you know when to use Quick Beads vs Ceramic Gloss?

[@diydetailofficial]

Use DIY Detail Quick Beads with a DIY Detail Incredible Suds Wash, and DIY Detail Ceramic Gloss with a DIY Detail Rinse Less Wash wash

[@franksattler6053]

Is the spray polish you used from DIY or is it from another company? Also, can this be used to prepare a vehicle for a coating?

So can we do a car with just one pad? I'm going to have to buy your cutting pads as well to for my BMW's paint IMO based on its condition and the 6 inches so it gets expensive quick. People online were saying you need average about 4 for cutting step + another 4 for polishing ha.

[@diydetailofficial]

You only need one pad for an entire car if you use the pad washer (one wool one waffle if you plan to cut *and* polish)

Which Milwaukee polisher is that? And why this one? I'd like a cordless one. Is that the M18 7 inch?

[@diydetailofficial]

I believe we are using the cordless Milwaukee dual action polishers in this video. 15 and 21 mm. We got them because they matched our colors:) we like them just fine

[@ShelterDogs]

Thank you! Those looks awesome. But it isn't rotary which is what Yvan likes and suggests. I looked it up and the Rotary version is a bit dated, and these use newer and updated technology.

I personally never dry a vehicle by hand. Always use a leaf blower. Benefit also gets water out of the small areas such behind license plates,mirrors etc. the cost of pad washer I can buy way more pads, wash them by hand at the end of the day. I don’t like a pad spinning around on plastic ridges. What are your thoughts on Americana pads? LC seems to be the favorite. They’re well made. I’ve not tried your polishes yet. Been a big fan of 3D One

[@arturia5976]

A spray polish! That’s nice! Question - will this polish stain rubber or plastic / vinyl parts? As I noticed that you guys didn’t mask off the car. I had the unfortunate part of staining the rubber parts of the windows as well as a bit of the factory blackout tape (really hate those) on my Seltos and it was brand new car then as well.

[@diydetailofficial]

No it doesn’t stain.

So safe to say that when this is released, we won’t need to mask off the car plastic and rubber trims? That will really be a real nice time saver if that’s true.
